For the meat sauce
Crumble the meats into a large pot or Dutch oven and brown over medium high heat. Drain fat if desired.
Add the onion and cook until softened.
Add the garlic and cook another minute.
Add in all of the sauce ingredients.
Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, 1-2 hours.
Continue cooking with lid off for another hour, adding a bit more water if the sauce is too thick.
For the lasagna
Cook noodles per package instructions. Drain well.
Cut 1" off of each noodle end then cut each in half in the middle.
First, spread a little sauce out on the bottom of each pan.
Then, layer the ingredients in the following order. Try to divide the ingredients evenly between each layer, but you don't have to be picky about it.
Noodle halve
Sauce
Ricotta
Mozzarella
Parmesan
Repeat for 3 total layers.
Fire up your Big Easy. You can cook 2 lasagnas at a time in the basket that comes with the Big Easy. With a bunk bed basket you can cook 4 at a time.Place loaf pans into the Big Easy basket (and bunk bed, if using). Place in the Big Easy and cook for 15 minutes or until the cheese is hot and bubbly.
Cook the remaining 4 pans while the first pans rest. Alternately, keep them in the oven on low or warm until the final pans are done.
